Apparently the songwriter was on vacation, in Jamaica, and accidentally crossed through some locals who were talking. And one irate guy gave him the line in the song. He also was becoming chums with a worker in his hotel. He asked that guy if he liked cricket. He surprised when the dude said, "I don't like cricket". Given how popular cricket is in Jamaica he expressed ... a curiosity. The guy explained He doesn't like cricket ... he *LOVES* it". And boom! He had a song. ❤
@@WTReaction If you're interested, here the songwriter tells the story of Dreadlock Holiday himself. th-cam.com/video/C8BP28RNnyA/w-d-xo.html PS Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. 😊 Have a day. 😐
@@WTReaction I initially thought the line was "Don't you walk through my world" ... and when the songwriter explained the story it was clear the line is "Don't you walk through my words". It's a clever take. I love it. ❤
This was inspired by actual events when the Moody Blues vacationed in Jamaica. They told 10CC about their experiences and 10CC wrote this song about it. True rock trivia!
10cc where 1 of the biggest bands of the 70's. I was a great fan back then and I still have my original vinyl. Their lyrics were always very clever and you need to listen very carefully to them. I strongly recommend I'm not in love I'm finally going to see them live in November, their 50th anniversary tour
Great song, No.1 in England in 1978.....I remember. The Jamaican guy is trying to buy his silver chain for a dollar that was a present from his Mother. Nice reaction. BTW the West Indies were a much better Cricket team than England at that time.
In 1978? Their top players, like the Aussies were in WSC & both were weak sides. Windies wouldn't start their domination until 1980 when WSC had folded.

Great song, listen to RUBBER BULLETS, that's very catchy too, thanks 😊
😂😅
this is a classic from 10cc
1978
If you want some more from 10cc try The Wall Street Shuffle, 'm Mandy, Fly Me and he Things We Do for Love.
Such a pity you concentrated on the visuals and not the lyrics
